The National Park Service awarded a $259,199.96 firm fixed price purchase order to Makai Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, to provide vessel services supporting reef surveys at Dry Tortugas National Park. This contract has a total small business set-aside designation. The award stems from a solicitation seeking a live-aboard research vessel to support scientific diving operations from May to September 2022 for biological assessments and coral restoration activities at the park. Under the contract, Makai Inc. will provide vessel charter services through February 1, 2024 to carry out reef surveys and data collection to support the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program and National Park Service coral outplanting efforts in the Dry Tortugas area located approximately 70 miles west of Key West, Florida.
